Find the gradient of the straight line with equation 4x+3y=12

To answer the question the equation given must be rearranged into the straight line formula, y=mx+c, where m is the gradient of the slopeminus 4x from both sides, we now have 3y=12-4xthen divide through by 3, so we now have y=4-4/3xand now rearrange into form y=mx+c, so we have y=-4/3x+12now the gradient can clearly been seen as -4/3

Why is the gradient of a curve at a point the same as the gradient of the tangent if you can't use gradient formula on a curve?


Given that dy/dx = 6x*2 - 3x + 4 And y =14 when x=2. Express y in terms of x


Given that, dy/dx = 6x^2 - 3x + 4, and y = 14 when x = 2, express y in terms of x.


Solve log_2(3x + 7) = 3 + log_2(x – 1), x > 1.
